On Thursday, December 2 from 6-8pm at Vassallo Park, the Croton Community Coalition will host a Candlelight Vigil to raise awareness about holiday safety and substance use. The event is being held in memory of those lost to alcohol/substance abuse, to support those struggling and in celebration of those in recovery. PVC and CHHS students are creating a paper memory chain the week before; the community will be invited to add to it that evening as the vigil gets underway. The chain will be wrapped around a tree in the park, as a symbol of unity and hope. Candles will be provided for all participants. The vigil will be followed by a Coffee House with hot drinks, baked goods and acoustic music. All members of the community are invited to attend!
